Mark 13:1-16 ▼

1 And on His going forth out of the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, “Teacher, behold what stones and what buildings!”

2 And Jesus said to him,” “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone here shall be left upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.”

3 And in His sitting at the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him by Himself,

4 “Tell us when these things will be, and what is the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”

5 And Jesus began to say to them, “Take heed, lest anyone may lead you? astray.

6 Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they will lead many astray.

7 And when you? shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. It is necessary to happen, but the end is not yet.

8 For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

9 But you?, take heed to yourselves. They will deliver you? up to courts, and you? will be beaten in synagogues, and you? will stand before governors and kings on account of Me, for a testimony to them.

10 And to all the nations first it is necessary for the gospel to be proclaimed.

11 But when they might lead you? away, delivering you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you? shall speak; but whatever might be given to you? in that hour, speak that. For you? are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

12 And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise up against parents and will put them to death.

13 And you? will be hated by all because of My name; but the one having endured to the end, he will be saved.

14 But when you? shall see the ‘abomination of the desolation’ standing where it should not (the one reading, let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;

15 and the one upon the housetop, let him not come down nor go in to take up anything out of his house;

16 and the one in the field, let him not return to the things behind to take away his garment.
